Apple Wired Headphones Lightning To 3.5Mm

Does what it says AND WORKS with the MICrophone of a WIRED set of apple earpods (lightning, obv).

Replaces my Lightning adapter for my older iPhone to my even older wired earbuds.....until Apple changes its ports AGAIN.

Just what I need, separate headphone output and lightning connector for power. I can use my wired headphones while charging the battery without additional adaptors

This is an easy way to use wired headphones with my lightning-based iOS devices that no longer have headphone jacks.

This Apple adaptor works great for connecting my old-style Apple headphones to my new lightning connection iPhone. I also got this to connect a lavalier microphone receiver to my iPhone as suggested by a B&H advisor and it works like a charm!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review it. Honestly, it works great for its intended purpose. I was able to charge my phone and connect Lightning headphones at the same time. I didn't notice any difference in sound quality between plugging the headphones into this product or plugging them straight into my iPhone. They also work perfectly with the 3.5 mm to Lightning adapter provided by Apple with my phone. The RockStar feels sturdy and uses Apple's signature look well. If it weren't for the Belkin logo on the Lightning plug, this could easily have been mistaken for something made by Apple. It also couldn't be simpler to use. Plug it into the iPhone and plug your headphones and power cord into either available port. There are only two things I could think of to make this product better. First would have been to have one port be a 3.5 mm jack. I only have the one pair of lightning headphones Apple provided and the adapter. I have a pile of old headphones though. My second thought would have been, if you have two Lightning ports on the adapter, let it be used to plug in two sets of headphones to act as a splitter. This may be a limitation set by Apple and not the product itself, but it would add a level of use to the RockStar. If you use Lightning headphones or 3.5 mm headphones with a Lightning adapter, this is a great product to be able to listen to music while you charge your phone. Personally, I use Bluetooth about 99.9% of the time, but I'm glad I have this product for those times I can't.

Although pricey, these headphones exude quality. They work seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, MacBook, and iPad), and sound great streaming Apple's lossless music files in iTunes or Apple Music. Make no mistake, these do not have the sound quality of high end wired cans, but if you want to lose the wires and have mobility they are very good as plenty of musical nuances can be detected that you won't hear in other bluetooth, and lower end wired headphones. The stereo separation is excellent. Of course, there are some negatives. The high quality construction makes for a heavy set of cans, Apple, stupidly did not include a charger, and the included case is laughable. Some reviewers have complained of problems with condensation and clamping pressure on the ears. Personally, I have listened to these for hours at a time and have not experienced these problems.

So much better than the Apple wired keyboard I had before.

Still like my wired headphones

I use it to connect my wired headphones to my new iPhone. Works great!
